Dark Days: Home Grown

So, you ask — another frittata?? What’s so special about this one, woman, that you keep submitting frittata to dark days challenge? Well, in this frittata, I grew the greens myself!! Chard (red and yellow), spinach, beet greens from 20 feet away. (by the by, who knew beet greens were so sweet and delicious?) Eggs, potatoes, oyster mushrooms from the farmer’s market. Cheese and bacon — not local, but needed to get used up. It was lovely. Max ate it, too, and will be taking left overs to daycare for lunch tomorrow. I think next week I might feel brave enough to pull up the beets. I have no clue how thick they may be getting underground.

Meanwhile, I have tomato seedlings sprouting and I think I need to move them to a location that gets more sun. None of our windows are particularly sunny — and then there’s rigging up a device to keep the kitty from getting too curious. That’s a project for next weekend.
